Singer Jennifer Hudson is enjoying awards, a loving fiance and son, and an inspiring weight loss.
However, Hudson says earning her slimmer body has its drawbacks.
“I’ve come to realize you cannot win with the weight loss,” Jennifer told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Friday’s Access Hollywood Live. “First they say you can’t do it, then when you do they said, ‘Oh, well, you’re gonna gain it back.’
“Then, when you don’t gain it back, then people get madder and they say, ‘Well… well… you lost too much weight,'” she continued. “And that is why I say you have to do it for yourself. It shouldn’t matter what other people say or what they think you should do.”
Jennifer also proudly shared details about her son, David Jr., with her fiance, wrestler David Otunga.
“He’s always been such a good baby and he’s just the sweetest thing. He’s such a blessing. He’s very advanced for his age, so he likes to talk a lot,” she added. “He’s a chatterbox. He loves to sing, he loves to wrestle,” she said. “[But] he likes to wrestle mommy and sing to daddy!”
Jennifer recently revealed her impending wedding will ake place in Chicago and that she’s definitely planning on adding to their family – hopefully with a daughter.
“I want a little girl so bad. And [my son] walks around saying, ‘I want a sister,'” Jennifer said. “I want a little girl so bad! But not right now. Give it about three more years.”
Jennifer expressed she’s not concerned about the expected body changes that are normal with pregnancy.
“I feel like I got it. Having a baby – obviously your body’s going to change,” she said. “[It’s] OK, I’ll just start all over again.”
Hudson also exposes more of her personal life in her new book, “I Got This,” explaining the book’s title signifies the her day-to-day outlook.
“It’s like, not doubting ourselves, not second-guessing ourselves, just going for things. I always say, if God placed me here, I have no choice but to be prepared,” she explained. “So I try to not question anything. It’s like, I’m here, so I must be prepared for it.”
